Re: Yellow Tote Placement Procedure

Personally, I don't think it's really right for the field reset crew to have the power to decide the success or failure of autonomous, which is true under the current rules.
I must say that I was not on the field so maybe we were just lucky and didn't have to ask for a tote to be straightened. Or maybe we just didn't have to ask the "wrong" field reset person.

The inconsistencies at Hartford are worrisome. I hope this is different for NEDCMP and Worlds.
I agree. The inconsistencies being reported here are very disconcerting. I am truly sad that others received a negative response.
